Hungry men prefer heavy women

Guys, do you have a rumbling stomach from skipping breakfast this morning? The hunger pangs may lead you to have a hankering for a full-figured woman, or so says the latest article from research magazineMiller-McCune.

The magazine looks at recent research suggesting the way to a man’s heart may truly be through his stomach—with a man’s image of a perfect romantic partner varying depending on whether or not he is hungry.

A hungry man wants a bigger women (in height and girth) who’s a bit older. (From what many of you have said in the past, I know there’s some rejoicing going on in the OTE reading world.)

Wow. Apparently, they just hand out research grants to any Joe-6pack these days. Huh? Because if this were true, evidently, I must be fasting. I LOOOOOOOOVE ME SOME BIG-BONEDED WOMEN! LoL.

Seriously though, perhaps there is a more sociological explanation behind the reasoning for people being attracted to a certain type of person. I think the explanation for my lustful feelings towards full-figured women comes from my socialization. A large number of women in my family are full-figured. Therefore it stands to reason that maybe I’m immune to seeing a full-figured woman. I grew up with so many full-figured women in my life, that I don’t get disgusted, or find it repulsive when looking at the women depicted above.

I’ve had my eyes on a Lamborghini for quite some time now. Kristi, you have any idea where I can get a grant for research from? Come on now. I’ll sweeten the deal. We can split the grant 80/20.

If a man skips eggs and toast and bacon,
He’ll crave some girth for his love makin’.
But feed him breakfast for a week,
And skin and bones is what he’ll seek.
So husky ladies do what you can.
To make more love, just starve your man!

I guess it can be true. I’m 28 and engaged to someone who is 31. She is also like these ladies in the picture. She also likes to cook for me and I do the same. Heart=Stomach.
I think you should take Got 2b reals deal. you can get a couple of purses from both Louie Vuitton and Hermes…

I was always overweight but am also a good cook. This Old Lady can say with certainty that while young men want sex several times a day, this changes as they get older. It reaches a point where a man may just want sex once a week, but they still need to be fed three times a day!

I thought everyone learned in college that if you go out drinking on an empty stomach that the more full figured girls look better all the time. Maybe they should have studied alcohol consumption instead of food consumption.

This is pretty silly. I also think that none of the women pictured there are “heavier” at all, especially the really pale one 3 from the right, she looks rather small. I think someone’s a little shallow.

I’m 6’6″ and over 300 lbs. I’ve dated every size woman from 4’9″ and 90 pounds to 6′ and 200 pounds, and every size inbetween. I love woman with a little meat on the bones. The woman in the picture are a perfect size. None of them look overweight to me. Size 14 or 16 for a 6 foot tall woman is normal in my eyes.
Plus, its what is on the inside that matters, the outside beauty is just a added bonus.

This makes total sense to me. From an evolutionary standpoint, of course if you’re hungry (a feeling that signals to your brain that there are scant resources), then you’re going to prefer someone who looks like they can take care of themselves, ie: a larger woman who clearly can provide her own food, and possibly yours. I think the reaction is very primal & logical in that sense.

Your link to the story doesn’t work, there’s a period at the end of it.

Also, I’m pretty sure the picture is from the Dove Real Beauty campaign and meant more as an illustration than anything else. The point of the campaign isn’t that all those women are hefty, but that their bodies are real & not photoshopped.
